Jackman, Craig to star on Broadway

WENN

Hugh Jackman and Daniel Craig are to star together on Broadway, reports say.

The two actors will headline new play A Steady Rain, according to the New York Post.

The story centres on two police officers from Chicago whose friendship is put to the test after their involvement in a case dealing with a domestic dispute in an impoverished neighbourhood.

The play is produced by Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and written by Keith Huff.

The stage production marks Craig’s Broadway debut, while Jackman won a Tony Award in 2004 for his performance in The Boy From Oz.

A Steady Rain is due to open in the autumn.
